The Yakima Signal has changed
hands; the new publishers, ,Coe & Lig-
gitt, having taken charge. ]. NJ. Ad-
ANS, founder and late publisher, takes
leave in three column boo hoo,
wherein he lauds himself as no one
else ever landed him. In telling
about what terrible mistake the re-
publican territorial convention made
by not admitting him as Z delegate,
he expresses his deep sympathy with
that party because it made such d
bad break. He left the party be-
cause he couldn't run it, but was re-
wardsd for his treachery by an Office
from the democratic administration
and sc feels howlingly happy. Con-
templating that, be says that what
he will be in future depends on cir
cumstances-thati is, if the democrats
want to keep him they mustn't pull
him loose from that official teat. The
briny tears come again, however, as
he reflects how cruel he is in depriv-
ing the public of his laundering big
brain power in the newspaper field
1t just makes his heart bleed to think
OF the danger now Of cog slipping
or a belt coming off and letting the
whole machinery of society go into
pi. Probably he will not soon for
give himself for having thus cruelty
deserted the ship of state-but there
is consolation in the fact that he will
be within hailing distance to come to
the rescue if the rest of poor blnnder-
ing humanity should find out that
they cannot possibly worry along
without him So, after all, we aro
not without something to be thank
full for.

the big political organ to further

for that purpose ignoring the old

chaser or his representative to three throws
of three dice. with possibility Of throwing
as high as fifty-four. The friends of MIR. Con-

record of forty-three out of ten chances. Ed
win Booths twenty chances brought him one
throw of forty lone. George W Childs, who
had five chances, tied Mr.. Jetferson's forty
three. When the eighty -seven chances were
thrown Mary Anderson's record stood I'M
equaled and she was officially announced as
the winner of the picture.

to have brought about $4,000 into
the family. 1t was in the Georgia

large part OF his fortune, though he
in his career he began to invest in lands

When he found out, too late, there is no

He was knocked-kneed, yes knock kneed
yes knock-kneed.

to make fortune for both himself and the
Judge if the latter would furnish him lnfor-
nation about a certain decision that was
pending, and was expected to affect stocks.
He would furnish the capital and do the trad
ing. dividing the profits equally. The Justice
was 80 completely taken aback by the mans
cool impudence that he scarcely knew what
to say, but the humor of the situation struck
him at once, and he asked the caller if he
chandelier, where he could get
good look at his face. The
stranger stood the scrutiny without finch
ing. Then said the Judge: my friend, you
have asked something that is not only i'm
proper and mpossible but your proposition
ought to tempt me to Kick you out of my
house. / scarcely know why l do not feel in
the mood TO do it. do not think you are
aware of the significance of your proposition.
and therefore shall not treat you as other
wise would. Lam not going TO enter into
speculation with you, as that would be
wrong; but will tell you how you can get
the Information you seek before anyone else"
The mans face frightened up, when the Jus
tice continued: ION the day when the opin-
ion is delivered-I cannot tell you when that
will become to the Supreme Court room and
take seat on the very first bench, then, as 1t
is read, the sound will reach your ears first.
Good evening. But wait moment. sir. You
should thank me for not kicking you down
